>The new Norwegian Prime Minister, Erna Solberg, known more affectionately as “Iron Erna” began a program which targets and deports immigrants who have ties to radical groups or have committed violent crimes while in Norway.

>“Oslo Local News” reports violent crime has decreased by 31 per cent after a record number of immigrants were deported by Norwegian authorities.

>But not everyone in Norway is happy with the fall in violent crime. One academic, Dr Unni Wikan, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo slammed the new policy saying:
“Norwegian women must take responsibility for the fact that Muslim men find their manner of dress provocative. And since these men believe women are responsible for rape, the women must adapt to the multicultural society around them.”

I read the constitution when I was a kid. It's the social contract for our society. Its principles served us well, and improved human rights around the world. As time goes by, we erode it, thinking it's impractical in today's worry-free world, and forget all the evils it's been protecting us from. We've had a long time to study it, and if we ever make another one, we might make a few additions.

well no, a better question is, how does it destroy it. look at any capatalist country, france, spain, USA, UK ect ect.. they all have a shit ton of culture and no one would deny it, so there is nothing to suggest capitalism destroys it.

Most of that was destroying people though, obviously a culture can be destroyed by killing the people. The ancestors of the surviving natives help make my point though. Those people today aren't the perfect portrait of a Spaniard, their culture was never destroyed. Their culture and the culture of the colonists mixed together and changed over time. Culture isn't destroyed (under most circumstances), it just changes.

But the fact that you could eat the same McDonald's meal in your own country then go to another nation and eat it again. Limiting the choices to only the corporate choice, McDonald's or other big fast food company's - over the nations cultural food for example.

if you want to eat a burger you can eat a burger
if you are a tourist and want to experience another cultures food then you can do that as well
I hardly think a McDonalds or two is gonna stop an entire country from making the food tha country is known for

Capitalism only destroys cultures that are inherently involuntary. Cultures are not based on countries, they're based on shared ideals between individuals. Individuals have unique tastes, which is why commercialism is so diverse. To put culture above the voluntary preferences of individuals in a free market is inherently discriminatory as it assumes that the individual has to be identified as being part of a collective culture purely because of their race or upbringing.

Cultures that use force onto others in order to prevent them from thinking for themself. Such as Islamic countries putting a death penalty on apostasy.

Imagine that there is a culture which finds a certain kind of holy water to be sacred. But the coca cola company decides to sell coke, the people there like the coke better than the holy water, as such abandoning said culture. There are only two things you can do, motivate your peers to continue drinking holy water and maintaining their culture or force them not to drink coca cola first in return will destroy the profits of the company.

So there are three scenarios possible: 1. The free market will alter people's behavior so much that their culture will change. 2. The free market and the culture will coexists through voluntary mutual respect. 3. The free market will die out due to involuntary peer-pressure of the culture not to buy anything.

Not in a free market. It's rather ironic that you make corporations out to be such boogeymans when what you claim to be oppose perfectly fits the description of the state, which anti-libertarians just love to suck off.

Were not talking about this utopia "Free market" world. The fact is, corporations can make the government do what they want. Do you really think NATO soldiers defend the pipe lines in the middle east because they want too - or because the the oil corporations tell the government to defend their interests because its good for the nations economy?

I mean...isn't it in a countries economic interest to make sure it's corporations do good and don't lose profit?
The entire industrial world and it's citizens are pretty reliant on oil.
So I don;t see the problem with soldiers defending pipelines. I would rather the government not treat me like an idiot and pretend like it is for democracy and just be straight and say it's because it's in the countries best interest, because that honestly isn't a terrible reason

But you can't just invade someone without a reason. That's why the government is there - to stop corporations from starting un-necessary wars. Kanadetenshi was saying the government suppresses the market (witch it does) to stop corporations from making that money and starting wars. But when the government is corrupt they can do "false flag" things to make up a reason to go to war to give the corporation what it wants.

Implying that's stopped anyone. Reasons are invented. Like Hitler's excuse for invading Poland, which is hilariously identical to Putin's reason for invading Crimea, it was "to protect the Germanic people in Poland" and had nothing to do with his vision of europe and Germania.

I mean yes, there were Germans in Poland because of the territory ceded in 1919 thanks to the fucking abomination of a piece of writing that was the "Treaty" of Versailles, but the idea that the Germans were facing genocide at the hands of the Polish people prior to the invasion is a hilarious fantasy believed only by a handful of modern neo-nazis.

There's the reason why you don't and will most likely never understand the free market nor libertarianism. Libertarianism exists precisely because it rejects utopia, it rejects the idea that we can force people into a perfect society, we acknowledge the imperfections of people and make a system where they are able to learn from the imperfections and turn it into something positive.

A free market isn't perfect, it can have flaws, but unlike other systems we don't make the big state try to patch the flaws which eventually creates more flaws, we fix flaws through responsible adult voluntary interactions.

Ofcourse corporations and big government are buddies, which is exactly why so many billionaires and corporations support democrats and republicans, because that way they can avoid honest competition. All the crap you're complaining about cannot happen when the government can no longer regulate the market and be close buddies with big corporations.

Comrade Chomsky is the hipster of anarchism. "Boohoo we used the term first, i hate it when words evolve"

His entire philosophy is based on an oxymoron. Thinking you can have voluntary freedom while forcing people to distribute their wealth. It really doesn't matter if it's the government that forces you to do that or the "free society" it's still an iniation of force. If a man is not voluntarily allowed to work for a private enterprise you're no longer promoting liberty.

If one day we're in a free market and coca cola puts a gun to my head and forces me to buy his products i'll consider his argument, but for now he's just living in imagination land.

I don't support Chomsky, but he brought up good topics. Also oil company's tell the government to kill whole villages of people. If you take restrictions off the market you would get instant corporate dictatorship. In a libertarian society, liberty can only exist under a brutal state or a tyrannical corporation.

Again there's your problem, you constantly confuse free market with state controlled crony capitalism. Corporate dictatorships only exists BECAUSE of government, not due to a lack of government. The only way you can actually be a monopoly in a free market if the large majority of customers are satisfied with your products, otherwise they would just go to the competition. Again this is the reason why corporations support pro-government parties.

Capitalism seems to inevitably turn into the capitalism we're used to. How would one get rid of the existant capitalism and return to the "free market" one? And how would capitalism not soon follow its seemingly inevitable course again? Globalization doesn't make things easier either.

>The only way you can actually be a monopoly in a free market if the large majority of customers are satisfied with your products

This is that whole theory that the market will not have any corruption. I think Ron Paul called it "Christian Capitalism" it is utopia. Only in a perfect world would that happen. If you think corporations only get corrupt when the government steps in (like the guy in the video said) you need to look at the real world.

How would you stop the bigger corporation from buying out everyone else without government restriction?

"If a man is not voluntarily allowed to work for a private enterprise you're no longer promoting liberty."
If this happens as isolated cases under a hypothetical anarchist system, I'm pretty sure anarchists won't give a shit, if it happens on a large scale as we see today, it clearly implies economic coercion. And if there's something anarchists don't like, it's coercion.

Is it bad to say that there should be a test for people who want to vote. Like not any advance questions but like "Which branch of government is the President part of" or "Which branch makes laws and who is in that branch"

Considering a sizable chunk of felons are non-violent drug offenders, that's an unnecessary restriction on voting and does nothing to improve the integrity of the process.
A small mistake shouldn't take away someone's rights for the rest of their life.

without education, it is difficult to know what is best for the country. His children may vote, or he may if given high school education. Still, a couple select few (of which distinguish themselves with other factors) should be able to vote to prevent too much class difference

tfw young people are delving into degeneracy
>underage drinking and tobacco use becoming more common
>age of first sexual encounter getting lower by the year

discuss - why?

i blame the rapid globalisation that has occurred after the invention of the internet as well as the media romantisising drinking and drug usage, and how many choose to idolise these people as role models

Read about r/K theory. "r" species are ones who breed rapidly because there is little to no competetion for the resources they need to thrive. "K' type species, on the other hand, face harsh conditions for their survival, and as such competition and a pack mentality will arise. Humans are one of the species that can switch between the two types.
Basically, as a society faces greater levels of abundance of resources, a few traits start to become more prevalent in animals in the "r" category, we become more like rabbits (who are categorized in the "r" section), fuck more with less care for monogamous relationships and child rearing, and this, obviously, will lead to less well-mannered and more sexually promiscuous children.

The root cause of modern degeneracy is our shift from Christian values to humanism. The sexual revolution spurred on an excessive amount of adultery. It seemed innocent at first, but now you see the effects. Large numbers of people are having children at too young of an age to properly care for them and pass on wise values, or parents divorcing during critical periods of child development, or even raising children in single parent homes from birth. That thwarts the values of our ancestors from being passed down to us, and we are doomed to make mistakes we would have otherwise known better.

The internet amplifies the problems of sexuality by making pornography readily available, but the root problem is our social acceptance of it.

Yeah that's a cultural problem, regulation won't stop that. Good parents will. However, if we are honest many kids have been doing this sort of stuff for decades. Nothing is gonna fully stop it. I very well know that the camps people go to after the high school year whether you are gr9 or gr12 has slutty girls that will swallow your premature wiener.

Absolutely. Our costs are only so high because insurance companies remove the possibility of price negotiation between doctor and patient. Free healthcare costs even more, but you don't even get to see the bill. Our problem could easily be remedied by requiring price transparency and avoiding fourth-party insurance providers, but there's no cure for free healthcare.

"Senior scientist at the Norwegian Center for Studies of Holocaust and Religious Minorities, Cora Alexa Døving, argues that there are significant similarities between Islamophobic discourse and European pre-Nazi antisemitism."

Islam belongs in the middle east. If it stays there nobody would would have a problem with it. When it causes problems in our countries we're gonna speak out about it, if leftists don't like they can eat it.

I hate this whole thing of political "phobia" terms. Pathological fears need to be handled delicately with sensitivity.

Opposition to gays and different religions isn't fear, it's hate. They don't need to be helped as much as they need a swift kick in the ass and a stern reminder that the world does not revolve around them.

This is a bit weird. I consider myself very rightist, but have a couple of leftist views (such as free abortion, ability for gays to adopt, public owned schools/hospitals/etc and marijuana for recreational use)

Either this is a very Americanized spectrum, or those three factors apparently decide that i am a leftist, despite the fact that i believe immigration is shit, multiculturalism is shit, and that some races are superior to others..

Only around half of democrats are actually pro-immigration. Basically, if they border mexico they're pro immigration but the further north you go the more anti immigration they get. And sure, they race bait, but they don't actually do anything about racial issues.

Tumblr doesn't really fit on the political compass. Their "ideology" is schizophrenic and self-contradictory on almost every level. Established political schools of thought know what they want and why they want it; prissy white girls on Tumblr just like rambling about everything.
